Driving the Mountain Trails Northeast of Mountain Lakes RV Resort






Eric drives past
San Bernardino National
Forest Campground -
Apple White











As we climb the mountain,
we see alpacas,
or llamas.












The road goes around
the mountaintop.










We see a raptor.

I don't know which one.












Mountain Lakes RV Resort
lies below.











We don't know what this
equipment is doing up here.













Roads lie in the distance.











A stand of sycamores.
 It's a great day for a drive.










We pass beneath an
electrical tower.







There are high pressure
gas lines in this area.







And here's a gas line.






The vegetation thins out
as we pass by formations
made out of sand & stones.








These formations remind me
of the ones we saw at
Joshua Tree National Park.







Electric wires slant down
toward the train tracks.







I wonder if this is an
old caboose.







Our next turn









Pines are prevalent
here.











Check out the root system
on this tree.







We are now at 6,375 feet.






It's all downhill from here.








The yellow flowers on the
bush are so pretty. 









The trail becomes rocky.








We are at Lytle Creek.







Suddenly, pavement
appears.





We are now just three miles from Mountain Lakes RV Resort.
